copied  so  that  the  original  records  might  be  more  easily  traced,  and  not 
to  convey  the  idea  that  the  name  was  other  than  as  now  used.

ROOSEVELT   GENEALOGY 


1.  CLAES  MARTENSZEN  VAN  ROSEN VELT  arrived  in 
New  Netherland,  now  New  York,  in  one  of  the  most  memorable 
years  in  the  history  of  his  time,  for  it  was  about  1649,  when  the 
Dutch  government  was  seriously  embarrassed.  A  contest  had 
been  waged  between  the  people  and  the  Sovereign  of  England, 
as  it  had  long  before  been  carried  on  in  the  Netherlands.  Oppo- 
sition had  been  succeeded  by  revolt  and  civil  war.  Charles  the 
First  was  beheaded  in  front  of  his  own  banqueting  hall,  and 
England  declared  a  republic.  The  shock  which  troubled  Europe 
was  felt  in  America.  In  that  year  Winthrop  died.  The  Dutch 
and  other  traders  were  forbidden  to  trade  with  the  New  England 
savages.  Arms  were  brought  to  New  Amsterdam  from  Holland, 
the  people  fearing  that  war  would  break  out  with  the  savages. 
Public  opinion  was  running  strong  against  Stuyvesant.  Food 
was  scarce.  The  winter  was  so  cold  that  "ink  froze  in  the  pen." 
About  this  time  a  Burgher  government  was  demanded,  and  dele- 
gates were  sent  to  Holland.  Katskill  and  Claverack  were  settled. 
Stuyvesant  opposed  the  reformers.  Fort  Nassau  was  demolished. 
Esopus  (N.  Y.)  and  Newtown  (L.  I.)  were  settled.  The  Burgher 
government  was  conceded  to  Manhattan.  War  was  declared  be- 
tween the  English  and  the  Dutch  nations.  The  Dutch  built  forti- 
fications across  New  Amsterdam.  In  1652- 1653  all  business 
was  at  a  standstill,  and  the  people  were  under  arms,  not  knowing 
when  an  attempt  would  be  made  against  the  Colony.  The  next 
year  the  Dutch  found  danger  still  greater,  as  Cromwell  had  dis- 
patched a  fleet  to  America,  and  as  the  fleet  was  leaving  New

Ill  1728,  Mr.  Jacobus  Rosenvelt  bought  ten  lots,  each  being 
25x120  feet,  "in  the  swamp  near  cripple  Bush,"  for  iio  each. 
The  swamp  was  originally  very  low  ground,  covered  by  bushes, 
and  was  known  as  the  "Cripple  Bush"  or  tangled  briars,  through 
which,  a  few  years  later,  Roosevelt  street  was  opened.  Lots  were 
marked  off,  and  it  became  the  seat  of  several  tanneries,  and  it  is 
still  monopolized  by  the  leather  business.  He  afterwards  bought 
the  whole  of  the  "Beekman  Swamp"  for  iioo,  through  which  he 
opened  Ferry  street.  The  "Beekman  Swamp,"  in  the  vicinity  of. 
Ferry  and  the  neighboring  streets,  embracing  the  blocks  between 
the  present  Nassau  and  Pearl  streets,  on  the  east  and  west,  and 
from  Fulton  on  the  south,  to  the  swamp  which  furnished  its 
northern  boundary,  came  into  requisition  for  building  purposes 
and  became  the  present  Beekman  street.  (Valentine's  Hist.  N. 
Y.,  p.  285 :  Old  Merchants  of  N.  Y.) 

"A  stream  called  'Wreck  Brook'  ran  from  the  'Collect'  to  the 
East  river,  through  a  meadow ;  it  emptied  into  the  river  at  the 
foot  of  what  is  now  Roosevelt  street.  The  'Collect  Pond'  was  a 
large  body  of  fresh  water,  said  to  have  been  seventy  feet  deep, 
situated  in  the  basin  in  the  site  of  which  is  now  occupied  by  the 
Tombs."

of  the  patentees  of  New  Paltz,  Ulster  Co.,  N.  Y. 

.  Isaac  Roosevelt  was  admitted  freeman  September  27,  1748. 
His  business  was  that  of  sugar  refining.  He  built  the  old  sugar 
house,  the  first  erected  before  the  Revolution,  and  worked  during 
the  war  and  for  forty  years  after.  His  store  was  originally  on 
Wall  street.  His  house  faced  on  Queen  street,  now  Pearl,  in 
Franklin  Square.  Harper  Bros,  now  own  this  property.  On  the 
rear  of  his  house  and  in  the  center  of  the  block  was  the  old  sugar 
house.  On  the  25th  of -April,  1772,  he  removed  to  St.  George's 
Square,  and  he  issued  the  following  advertisement :  "Isaac 
Roosevelt  is  removed  from  his  house  in  Wall  Street  to  the  house 
of  his  late  brother.  Jacobus  Roosevelt,  Jr.,  deceased,  near  the  Sugar 
house,  and  opposite  to  Mr.  William  Waltons,  being  on  the  north- 
west side  of  Queen  Street,  where  his  customers  may  be  supplied 
as  usual  with  double,  middling  and  single  refined  loaf  sugars, 
clarified,  muscovado  and  other  molasses,  &  etc." 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  was  organized  in  1768  and  kept  up 
by  the  resident  merchants  during  the  war.  Isaac  Roosevelt  was 
one  of  its  first  members.  (Mem.  Hist.  N.  Y.,  p.  15,  Vol  III.) 
His  name  is  found  among  the  original  incorporators  of  the  first 
public  hospital  in  New  York,  1770. 

Mr.  Isaac  Roosevelt  enlisted  as  private  in  the  Sixth  Regiment, 
Dutchess  County  Militia  (Land  Bounty  Rights:  N.  Y.  in  the  Rev- 
olution, p.  250).  He  was  elected  April  22,  1775,  a  member  of  the 
Provincial  Congress  "On  Sunday,  April  23,  1775,  at  noon,  a 
dusty,  travel-stained  horseman  dashed  into  the  city  with  the  news 
of  the  affair  at  Lexington,  in  a  twinkling  copies  of  the  dispatch 
he  bore  were  posted  at  all  places  of  public  resort." 

"On  May  the  ist,  1775,  the  following  gentlemen  were  among 
those  chosen  a  general  committee  for  the  county  and  city  of  New 
York  in  the  present  alarming  crisis.  'Isaac  Roosevelt,  'Nicholas 
Roosevelt,'  at  the  same  time  chosen  deputies  of  the  other  counties 
in  the  Provincial  Congress,  May  22.  Isaac  Roosevelt."  (N.  Y. 
Mem.  Hist.,  Vol.  II.,  p.  480.) 

He  was  one  of  the  most  noted  Whigs  of  the  time.  On  the 
entry  of  the  British  he  withdrew  from  the  city.  His  sacrifices 
were  rewarded  by  the  confidence  of  his  countrymen.     Mr.  Roose-

velt  was  one  of  the  General  Committee  of  One  Hundred  to  take 
control  of  the  government.  He  represented  the  city  of  New  York 
in  the  convention  at  Kingston,  Ulster  County,  N.  Y.,  to  form  a 
constitution  for  this  State,  April  20,  1777,  and  of  the  New  York 
convention  at  Poughkeepsie,  June  18,  1788,  to  deliberate  on  the 
adoption  of  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States. 

The  men  of  1776  had  found  out  long  ago  that  to  carry  on  war 
successfully  money  was  needed,  for  they  had  to  pay  for  powder 
alone  £30  or  £40  per  100  wt. ;  hence  the  last  issue  of  paper  money 
was  soon  drawn  out  of  the  treasury.  About  the  same  time  New 
York  applied  to  the  Continental  Congress  for  a  loan  of  £45,000, 
which  was  refused,  and  the  Committee  of  Safety,  sitting  during 
the  adjournment  of  the  Provincial  Congress,  ordered,  January  6, 
1776,  that  Isaac  Roosevelt  get  an  emission  of  paper  money  ready 
as  quickly  as  possible.  Delays,  however,  arose.  March  5th  the 
House  adopted  the  report  of  the  Committee  for  the  issue  of 
£55,000,  213,400  bills  in  denomination  of  1-8,  1-6,  1-4,  1-3,  1-2,  2-3, 
I,  2,  3,  5,  10,  to  be  redeemed  or  sunk  in  three  yearly  installments, 
beginning  March  i,  1779.  (Mem.  Hist.  N.  Y.,  Vol.  IV.,  p.  339.) 
The  Bank  of  New  York  was  establised  early  in  1784,  largely 
through  the  efforts  of  William  Duer  and  General  Alexander  Mc- 
Dougall,  who  was  its  first  president  until  his  death  on  8th  June, 
1786,  when  Mr.  Roosevelt  succeeded  him.  Mr.  Roosevelt  was 
State  Senator,  1786-90. 

The  freeholders  and  freemen  of  the  city  met  at  the  Exchange 
on  March  6.  On  that  day  a  Union  flag  with  a  red  field  was 
hoisted  on  the  liberty  pole,  at  9  o'clock,  when  the  people  rallied  in 
large  numbers  and  marched  to  the  Exchange,  where  they  author- 
ized the  committee  to  nominate  eleven  deputies,  for  the  sole  pur- 
pose of  choosing  delegates  to  the  General  Congress,  such  election 
to  be  held  April  25.  The  committee  nominated  deputies  for  the 
city  and  county  of  New  York  in  the  Provincial  Congress.  They 
were  Philip  Livingston,  John  Jay.  James  Duane,  John  Alsop,  Isaac 
Low,  Francis  Lewis,  Abraham  Walton,  Abraham  Brasher,  Alex- 
ander McDougall,  Leonard  Lispenard  and  Isaac  Roosevelt.

New  York  State  convention,  called  to  meet  at  Poughkeepsie, 
June  17,  1788.     Isaac  Roosevelt  was  one  of  the  seventeen  State 
Senators  under  Governor  Clinton. 

In  1784  Mr.  Roosevelt  resumed  his  business  of  sugar  refining, 
in  partnership  with  his  son,  under  the  firm  name  of  Isaac  Roose- 
velt &  Son.  Mr.  Roosevelt  continued  president  of  the  bank  until 
1 79 1,  when  he  retired  and  was  succeeded  by  Gulian  Verplank. 
"He  was  the  fourth  President  of  the  Society  of  the  New  York 
Hospital,  1 790- 1 794.  He  died  October,  1794,  aged  68,  beloved 
and  honored  as  a  tried,  true  and  constant  parent."  (Chamber 
Commerce  Rec.) 

In  the  diary  of  General  George  Washington  the  following 
lines  are  written  about  Nov.  14,  1789 :  "Received  an  invitation  to 
attend  the  funeral  of  Mrs.  Roosevelt  (the  wife  of  a  Senator  of 
this  State),  but  declined  complying  with  it,  first,  because  the  pro- 
priety of  accepting  an  invitation  of  this  sort  appeared  to  be  very 
questionable,  and  secondly  (though  to  do  it  in  this  instance  might 
not  be  improper),  because  it  might  be  difficult  to  discriminate  in 
cases  which  might  thereafter  happen."  (Mem.  Hist.  N.  Y.,  Vol. 
III.,  p.  57. 

"She  departed  this  life  on  Fryday,  12  o'clock  ye  13  Nove  1789 
being  then  55  years  2  ms  and  19  days  of  age"  (from  family  Bible 
in  possession  of  John  A.  Roosevelt,  Hyde  Park,  N.  Y.).

180.  NICHOLAS  (Jacobus"),  bap.  December  27,  1767,  in 
New  York  City.  "Was  carefully  educated.  His  connection  with 
the  invention  of  the  Vertical  steamboat  paddle  wheels  is  best  de- 
scribed by  John  H.  B.  Latrobe,  in  his  'Lost  Chapter  on  the  His- 
tory of  the  Steamboat'  (Batlimore,  1871).  Mr.  Latrobe's  investi- 
gations show  that,  soon  after  the  evacuation  of  New  York  by  the 
British,  Roosevelt  returned  to  New  York  from  Esopus,  where  he 
then  resided,  and  where  he  had  made  a  small  wooden  boat,  across 
which  was  an  axle  projecting  over  the  sides  with  paddles  at  the 
ends,  made  to  revolve  by  a  tight  cord  wound  around  its  middle  by 
the  reaction  of  hickory  and  whalebone  springs.  In  New  York  he 
engaged  in  manufacturing  and  inventing ;  subsequently  he  became 
interested  in  the  Schuyler  copper  mines  in  New  Jersey,  on  the 
Passaic  river,  and  from  a  model  of  Josiah  Hornblower's 
atmospheric  machine  completed  a  similar  one,  built  engines 
for  various  purposes,  and  constructed  those  for  the  water  works 
of  Philadelphia.  He  was  also  at  the  same  time  under  contract 
to  erect  rolling  works  and  supply  the  government  with  copper 
drawn  and  rolled  for  six  74-gun  ships.  In  1797,  with  Robert 
Livingston  and  John  Stevens,  he  agreed  to  build  a  boat  on  joint 
account,  for  which  the  engines  were  to  be  constructed  by  Roose- 
velt, and  the  propelling  agency  was  to  be  planned  by  Livingston. 
This  experiment  failed,  the  speed  attained  being  only  equivalent 
to  about  three  miles  an  hour  in  still  water.  On  September  6,  1798, 
Roosevelt  had  fully  described  to  Livingston  a  vertical  wheel, 
which  he  earnestly  recommended.  This  is  the  first  practical  sug- 
gestion of  the  combination  that  made  steam  navigation  a  com- 
mercial success,  although  four  years  later  Robert  Fulton  believed 
that  chains  and  floats  were  alone  to  be  relied  on.  Livingston, 
however,  had  replied  to  Roosevelt's  proposition  on  October  28, 
1798,  that  'vertical  wheels  are  out  of  the  question.'  But  in  the 
Spring  of  1802,  Livingston  having  communicated  Roosevelt's  plans 
to  Fulton,  they  adopted  the  former's  view,  and  in  January  of- the 
next  year  launched  a  boat  that  was  propelled  by  Roosevelt's  ver- 
tical wheels.  Roosevelt  in  the  meantime  became  greatly  embar- 
rassed financially,  the  government  failed  to  fulfill  its  contract  with 


ROOSEVELT  GENEALOGY.  39 

him,  and  he  was  unable  to  put  his  plans  in  operation.  In  1809 
he  associated  himself  with  Fulton  in  the  introduction  of  steam- 
boats on  the  western  waters,  and  in  181 1  he  built  and  navigated 
the  "New  Orleans,"  the  pioneer  boat  that  descended  the  Ohio  and 
Mississippi  rivers,  from  Pittsburg  to  New  Orleans  in  fourteen 
days,  he  having  previously  descended  both  rivers  in  a  flat  boat  to 
obtain  information.  In  July,  181 5,  he  applied  to  the  Legislature 
of  the  United  States  for  protection  as  the  inventor  of  vertical 
wheels,  for  which  he  had  obtained  letters-patent  from  the  United 
States  in  December,  1814.  The  Legislature,  after  discussion,  de 
cided  that  'it  was  inexpedient  to  make  any  special  provision  in 
connection  with  the  matter  in  controversy  before  the  body,'  and 
there  the  matter  rested.  Roosevelt's  papers  came  into  the  posses- 
sion of  Richard  S.  Cox,  his  executor,  from  whom  they  were  ob- 
tained, in  1828,  and  from  these,  with  others  from  the  papers  of 
Chancellor  Livingston,  a  case  was  prepared  and  submitted  to 
Roger  B.  Taney,  which  had  been  already  submitted  to  William 
Wirt,  and,  both  opinions  being  favorable,  a  suit  was  about  to  be 
begun,  when  the  consideration  of  the  great  expense  involved  in  its 
prosecution  caused  the  whole  matter  to  be  abandoned.  ^ 

"Roosevelt  had  by  this  time  retired  from  active  life,  residing 
with  his  family  in  Skaneateles,  Cayuga  County,  N.  Y. 

"In  the  case  submitted  for  Mr.  Wirt's  opinion  it  is  said  that 
Fulton  never  made  oath  to  the  application  for  a  patent  for  vertical 
wheels  over  the  sides  ;  and  that  the  application  itself  was  signed  by 
another  person — a  statement  that  would  seem  to  be  corroborated 
to  a  great  extent  by  Fulton's  own  account  of  his  invention  in  an 
interview  with  B.  H.  Latrobe  on  February  7,  1809,  when  the  latter 
was  endeavoring  to  bring  about  what  subsequently  took  place — 
a  connection  between  Fulton  and  Roosevelt  in  regard  to  the  intro- 
duction of  steamboats  on  the  western  waters.  T  have  no  preten- 
sions,' said  Fulton,  'to  be  the  first  inventor  of  the  steamboat. 
Hundreds  of  others  have  tried  it  and  failed.  Neither  do  I  pretend 
to  the  right  to  navigate  steamboats,  except  in  New  York.  .  .  . 
That  to  which  I  claim  an  exclusive  right  is  the  so  proportioning 
the  boat  to  the  power  of  the  engine  and  the  velocity  with  which 
the  wheels  of  the  boat,  or  both,  move  with  the  maximum  velocity 
attainable  by  the  power,  and  the  construction  of  the  whole  ma- 
chine.' In  the  same  conversation  Mr.  Fulton  said  :  'As  to  Mr. 
Roosevelt,  I  regard  him  as  a  noble-minded,  intelligent  man,  and 
would  do  anything  to  serve  him  that  I  could.'  "  (Appleton's 
Cyclopedia  of  American  Biography.  Vol.  V.,  pp.  317-318.)

in  1819,  and  studied  law,  but  was  prevented  by  delicate  health  from 
practising.  He  never  married,  and  the  fortune  that  he  inherited  was  not 
large,  but  by  investments  in  real  estate  and  a  simple,  unostenta- 
tious manner  of  living,  he  accumulated  the  sum  that  he  intended  from 
his  early  manhood  to  leave  for  some  charitable  object:.  By  the  terms 
of  his  will  he  left  the  principal  part  of  his  estate  to  found  a  noble  hos- 
pital in  New  York  City,  which  bears  his  name,  and  was  formally  opened 
2d  November,  1871.  The  property  left  by  him  was  valued  at  about  one 
million  but  in  the  interval  of  eight  years  between  his  death  and  the  open- 
ing of  the  hospital  the  estate  had  been  so  administered  by  his  trustees 
that  the  principal  aggregated  at  least  one  million,  exclusive  of  the 
ground  upon  which  the  buildings  were  erected  in  West  59th  street.  The 
buildings  themselves  represented  an  expenditure  of  $950,000.  The  prop- 
erty in  1888  was  worth  $2,000,000.  On  the  tablet  that  is  placed  to  his 
memory  in  Roosevelt  Hospital  is  inscribed:  "  To  the  memory  of  James 
Henry  Roosevelt, a  true  son  of  New  York,  the  generous  founder  of  this 
hospital,  a  man  upright  in  his  aims,  simple  in  his  life  and  sublime  in  his

643.  ROBERT  BARNWELL  (Cornelius  V.  S.^-^"),  b.  Au- 
gust 7,  1829,  in  New  York  City,  bap.  Robert  Barnhill,  was  admit- 
ted to  the  bar  in  1850.  While  in  practice  he  also  contributed  to 
the  magazines.  Was  an  enthusiastic  sportsman,  and  organized 
several  clubs  to  restrain  the  indiscriminate  slaughter  of  game. 
During  the  Civil  War  he  was  an  active  Democrat,  and  a  founder 
of  the  Allotment  Commission  and  the  Loyal  National  League. 
He  founded  the  New  York  State  Fishery  Commission  in  1867, 
and  was  appointed  one  of  the  three  Fish  Commissioners,  on  which 
he  has  served  without  a  salary.  The  reports  of  the  body  were  pre- 
pared chiefly  by  him,  and  have  led  to  the  appointment  of  similar 
commissions  in  other  States.  His  first  experience  in  politics  was 
in  the  organization  of  the  citizens'  association  at  the  time  of  the 
"Tweed  Ring"  administration  in  New  York  City.  He  was  a 
founder  of  the  committee  of  seventy  and  was  first  vice-president 
of  the  "Reform  Club."  With  Charles  G.  Halpine,  he  edited  the 
"Citizen,"  the  organ  of  that  association,  and  after  Mr.  Halpine's 
death  succeeded  to  the  sole  charge  of  the  paper.  He  served  in 
Congress  from  1873  to  1875.  Although  the  pressure  of  anti- 
Tammany  Democratic  organizations  forced  Tammany  Hall  to  ap- 
prove his  nomination,  he  denounced  the  measures  of  the  corrupt 
clique.  In  May,  1880,  he  was  appointed  United  States  Minister 
to  the  Netherlands,  whereupon  he  resigned  the  office  of  Fish  Com- 
missioner, giving  in  his  letter  to  the  Governor  a  review  of  what 
had  been  accomplished  during  his  twenty  years  of  service.  He 
was  instrumental  in  the  establishing  paid  fire  and  health  depart- 
ments of  New  York  City,  and  was  commissioner  of  the  "Brooklyn 
Bridge,"  and  for  many  years  served  as  president  of  the  "Fish  Cul- 
ture Association,"  of  that  for  the  protection  of  game,  of  the  New 
York  Sportsman's  Club,  of  the  International  Association  for  the 
Protection  of  Game,  of  the  Holland  Trust  Company,  a  founder 
of  the  Lotus  and  Arcadian  Clubs,  and  a  member  of  the  American 
Association  for  the  advancement  of  science.  Was  vice-president 
of  the  Sons  of  American  Revolution,  first  president  of  the  Hol- 
land Society.  He  has  published  "The  Game  Fish  of  North  Amer- 
ica" (New  York,  i860)  ;  "The  Game  Birds  of  the  North"  (1866)  ; 
"Superior  Fishing"  (1866)  ;  "Florida  and  the  Game  Water  Birds" 
(1868)  ;  "Five  Acres  too  Much,"  a  satire  on  amateur  farming  that

ical habits  (1871),  and  edited  the  "Political  Works  of  Charles  G. 
Halpine,"  with  a  memoir  (1869).
